Hello zfs-discuss,
I do have several pools in a SAN shared environment where some pools
are mounted by one server and some by another.
Now I can do ''zpool export A B C D''
But I can''t do ''zpool import A B C D''
import -a isn''t an option since I want import only those pools I
just exported.
It''s not a big deal but it''s annoying I can''t
import these pool with
one command line like I can export them. Ideally I should just go to
shell history and change export to import and voila!

This seems like a reasonable RFE.

Hello Eric, Wednesday, August 16, 2006, 4:49:27 PM, you wrote: ES> This seems like a reasonable RFE. Feel free to file it at ES> bugs.opensolaris.org. I''ve just did :) However currently ''zpool import A B'' means importing pool A and renaming it to pool B. I think it would be better to change current behavior and rename only with given switch like ''zpool import A -n B'' or something like that and ''zpool import A B'' (zpool import pool ... ...) means importing all those specified pools. That way it will be more intuitive and consistent with zpool export. What do you think?

Unfortunately we can''t change the behavior of ''zpool import A B'' since it would break backwards compatibility. However, we might be able to have something like ''zpool import -m A B'', which means ''import multiple pools''. - Eric -- Eric Schrock, Solaris Kernel Development http://blogs.sun.com/eschrock
